EDITORS’ NOTES

The Indispensable Collection features every Michael Jackson studio album from 1979’s Off the Wall until his 2009 death, with the addition of Live at Wembley July 16, 1988. After all, it was Off the Wall—Jackson’s fifth studio album—that signaled a new era had arrived for MJ. With producer Quincy Jones, young Jackson resculpted his music to be among pop's most innovative and exciting. From the irresistible grooves of “Don’t Stop ’Til You Get Enough,” it was apparent that Jackson’s magic had modern, lasting potential. The follow-up album, Thriller, more than proved that point, becoming one of the best-selling albums of all time. Each follow-up album was first compared to Thriller before being accepted as its own work, and albums such as Bad, Dangerous, HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I, the subsequent Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix, and finally Invincible all have defining moments that will continue to thrill future generations as Jackson is rediscovered by new audiences.
